Unión await windfall to lift bans before the opener | OneFootball

Unión is facing decisive days ahead of the start of the Torneo Clausura. The club’s red-and-white leadership is awaiting the arrival of significant financial resources that would allow it to lift the bans weighing on the club and clear the new signings for the opener on July 24 against Platense.

At present, Tatengue has two FIFA-imposed bans. One corresponds to a debt of around $90,000 with Ecuadorian forward José Angulo, while the other is linked to a claim by Juventud Las Piedras over the transfer of Maizon Rodríguez, with an amount of roughly $500,000. Until both obligations are settled, Unión will not be able to officially register its new additions.

The main expectation is focused on the arrival of funds from two transfers completed in this window. On one hand, the club expects to receive the first installment of $600,000 for the sale of Rafael Profini to Ukrainian football. In addition, it is awaiting the arrival of $2.2 million net from the transfer of Mateo Del Blanco, after deducting taxes and the percentage corresponding to Santa Fe FC.

The leadership’s intention is to use those resources to immediately lift the bans and make the new signings eligible for the start of the championship. At the same time, part of the money would also be used to regularize internal debts with the professional squad, mainly outstanding bonus payments.

Meanwhile, coach Leonardo Madelón is closely following the efforts and hopes the administrative situation will be resolved during the coming week, with the aim of having the full squad available for the Torneo Clausura debut.
